Villar Perosa
Villar Perosa has served as an industrial centre in Piedmont’s Chisone Valley since the early 20th century. Set along the Chisone torrent west of Turin, the municipality is closely associated with the Agnelli family and the RIV bearing works, established here in 1906. Its built-up core follows the valley road, while wooded hillsides rise immediately behind the houses. Villar Perosa also holds a distinctive place in Italian football: for decades it hosted Juventus’s traditional pre-season family match, reflecting the club’s connection with the Agnelli family. The surrounding Val Chisone leads deeper into the Cottian Alps, giving this small town a firmly Alpine setting despite its industrial past.

Villar Perosa straddles the Chisone River in Piedmont, and its position in the valley has connected the town to routes rising towards the Cottian Alps. The Val Chisone moves quickly from its settled floor to steep, wooded slopes, while the road towards Sestriere makes this a familiar approach to western Piedmont’s mountain country. Villar Perosa is closely associated with the Agnelli family, whose roots are here, and it has traditionally hosted a Juventus pre-season fixture that brings national attention to the town.

Piedmont occupies Italy’s northwestern corner, between the Alps, the Apennines and the Po Valley. The Po, Italy’s longest river, begins in the Cottian Alps and flows east across the region’s plains, while vine-covered hills define the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato areas. Turin, Piedmont’s principal city, was the first capital of unified Italy from 1861 to 1865 and remains closely associated with the House of Savoy, grand boulevards and chocolate-making. Beyond the city, the region’s identity ranges from Alpine valleys to rice fields around Vercelli and renowned wine country.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
